A visual Agent Builder, embeddable ChatKit chat UI, Connector Registry and trace-grading Evals for building and testing LLM agents.
Why it matters for PMsIf you are scoping an AI feature, you can draft and eval the agent flow yourself before engineering commits a sprint to the prototype.
Adds a provisioned backend — auth, database, storage, AI calls — to Lovable prompt-built apps without wiring separate infrastructure.
Why it matters for PMsLets you put a logged-in, data-persisting prototype in front of five customers instead of a clickable Figma that cannot test the real flow.

Get tomorrow's issue with the call on each tool.
You just read the whole issue, free — and it stays free. The Adoption Brief is the other half: adopt, pilot or skip on each of the five tools, the price a 20-person product org really lands on, the SSO and data-risk line, and a 3-line pitch you can paste into #product. Leave your email and the next 7 issues arrive with all five briefs attached — no card, nothing to cancel.
A one-word verdict on every tool — adopt, pilot or skip — with the reason in one sentence.
The real price a 20-person product org lands on, not the headline tier on the pricing page.
The integration and data-risk line: which plan SSO needs, the SOC 2 posture, where your roadmap and customer data ends up.
A paste-ready 3-line pitch for #product, so making the case costs you nothing.
